This chapter discusses classical estimation methods for limited dependent variable (LDV) models that employ Monte Carlo simulation techniques to overcome computational problems in such models. These difficulties take the form of high-dimensional integrals that need to be calculated repeatedly....

This paper discusses estimation methods for limited dependent variable (LDV) models that employ Monte Carlo simulation techniques to overcome computational problems in such models. These difficulties take the form of high dimensional integrals that need to be calculated repeatedly but cannot be...

An extensive literature in econometrics and in numerical analysis has considered the problem of evaluating the multiple integral P({bold B};mu,Omega) = integral_{a}^{b} n(v - mu, Omega)dv = E_{V}{bold 1}(V in {bold B}), where V is a m-dimensional normal vector with mean mu, covariance matrix ,...
